Finishing and Done
I put an exhaust fan at the top for the airflow.
I guess, this is it. Nothing much that I did compare to other participants. This mod project is done by using basic tools. I am a beginner in PC mod case. I just started modding case since last year. There is a lot that I need to learn. I started from small. DIY some stuff, and minimize the cost as I am still a student. limited budget. That is why I chose to use recycle and stuff that I can easily get around me. So, below are the pictures of the completed project.
NIGHT MODE
THE END
Thanks guys for the support. I am open to any constructive criticism. And also feedback. Any tips and advice are much appreciated.

I use "Encik Chopper" as my alias. made a backplate of it. cheapest with a little bit of effort method.
Designed it using microsoft office and print it out using sticker paper
Traced it bit by bit. Patience is a key
Sprayed white at the back and black at in front. Then, pull out the sticker.
For the watercooling part, nothing extraordinary. I still need to practice my bending skill.
Did a little blood effect for the reservoir showcase

RGB CLOUD
this is quite simple project that you guys can do at home for your kid's room deco .
Stuffs that I used to make the cloud
2x Empty bottle (1.5L)
cutting tools (Scissors, knife etc)
Cotton wool (Bought from pharmacy for around 2USD )
Hot Glue Gun
Led Strip
The 2 empty bottle was cut into half
Stick it together
Make a hole using knife. This hole can allow me to put the LED strip into the bottle
Measured it again so that the length is not too short or not too long. Just nice
I used the hot glue gun and applied it on the empty bottle, then I stick together the cotton wool. Repeat this step until the most of the front side of the bottle is covered by the wool.
LOOKS FLUFFY
I Put the LED Strip inside the cloud through the hole that I made earlier and test it in the dark.

Looks nice to me, atleast

I decided to cut the fan grill to make a space for the reservoir so that it can be seen from outside.
shout out to my fiance for sponsoring this dremel rotary tool
Cleaned up a bit the uneven cut.
Then, I cut a piece of acrylic sheet to cover the hole so that the reservoir can be seen from outside.
The original plan was that the reservoir is held by 2 holders horizontally but I changed it because that old reservoir was leaking during the leak test. So I used another old reservoir but smaller one.

Here comes the "Art Attack". after around 15 years, I can finally try to make the low-cost sculpture by myself.
The ingredient:
PVA glue mixed with water
toilet paper
some patience
The PVA glue is mixed with water in a container. Stir and mix it well with the water. Apply the mixture onto the surface of the box by using a paint brush. Put a layer of toilet paper onto it and apply again the mixture of PVA glue and water. Repeat the steps until it covers the whole thing. Make a few layers to make it sturdy.
USB fan to the rescue. Sure it helps a lot to dry up the inside.

So This is it, the outcome. Not bad tho.

80's and 90's kids might know a tv show called Art Attack. That show was famous for DIY sculpture by using cheap resources such as PVA glue, toilet paper, water etc. I actually watched back the shows on youtube to apply that method for this project.
So I am planning to make a castle on a cloud. That castle will be 100% D.I.Y and with my minimal creativity skill, wish me luck . For the castle, basic materials are boxes, toilet paper, PVA glue, water and water paint. Luckily my mom bought a few furniture from IKEA recently and the packaging came with a lot of box and box. I need to cut it and stick it together to build a castle. I will do this project in my small room for most of the time except when cutting the case. Of course I need to cut the case at outside so that I will not burn my room.
Picture below is my expectation. (Credit for Pinterest). But it is too awesome compare to my hand skill. So, don't expect much from me.
Me, trying to art.
Here are the IKEA boxes. That I will be using.
Box are easy to cut compare to steel and aluminium. So it is easy for me to design or make last minute change if something went wrong. Before I cut it into pieces, i make a detailed measurement for the motherboard, pump and radiator placement.
Then I proceed to cut the box sheets and tape them together.
(Forgive me for my small Asian Room)
Almost there, boiss!

GG , I don't know about you guys, but I think this is not bad. I am really bad in handcrafting, art or anything related to it.
Next problem will be how to paint it. Oh my paint job~

Let's Do This
Short summary of me and my project. I am a 3rd year mechanical engineering student. Previously I did a few modding case for personal use just for fun. This will be my first time joining Case Mod competition. I don't expect much after I saw other people submission's which are really awesome and highly detailed. I joined this just to gain experience and want to get involved in modding community. My english is not really good. Sorry Grandma!!
As I am not sponsored (except that my mom bought me a table saw), Pc Parts that I will be using in this competition are used parts (almost all). I am kinda broke student and can only afford to buy 2nd hand Pentium G4400 . I only have around 1 week to finish this project because it's my only semester short break holiday.
For this Project, I will be using Vector bench case (My old unused case) as the base case. The first idea was to make a Garbage-truck concept but the wheels and shafts are too expensive and will take a long time to reach me (order from China). So I decided to mod a case with very minimum cost and use recycle stuff as material. I will make a Castle-Like PC case with RGB cloud

This mod will be done based on truck and go-green theme.
For some personal reason, I need to change my theme as I have problem to get the material to my place in time to build the original previous theme. New Theme for this Project will be Cloud Queen.
I hope, change of Theme/Title for the project is allowed
